About

I'm Alex Lim, a Technical Recruiter at Meta currently focused on finding top-tier talent for our Data Engineering teams. My career arc has taken me through some of the most innovative spaces in tech, including LinkedIn and Netflix, where I've specialized in everything from UI and Streaming Client engineering to distributed systems and SRE. I view the hunt for great engineering talent as an exciting challenge and take pride in building high-quality teams that drive real impact. Outside of the recruiting world, I'm a huge Golden State Warriors fan and stay active in the Nikkei community. I’m here to connect with skilled engineers—specifically those deep in data warehousing and distributed systems—and to share insights on navigating the interview process at major tech firms.
